I've been suffering from social anxiety as well for around 8 years now. I know I shouldn't care about what others think of me, but convincing a stubborn mind which is used to a way-of-thinking for nearly its whole life is not that easy. But I'm getting there, slowly. I don't know how badly social anxiety is affecting your everyday life, but do know that you can overcome it. It's not even that hard. It just takes a little bit of time, a good amount of persistance and consistency, and you will get there almost guaranteed.

This book/audiobook is incredible and a strong recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Social-Anxiety-Step/dp/1497584566 (make sure you are getting the audio tapes as well)

I'm passionate about this because social anxiety has ruined many years of my life and made me lose so many chances and opportunities. Nobody deserves to suffer like this. Social anxiety is one of the most common mental disorders in the world and the sad part is that so many people brush it off as you "just being shy", or that you should "just stop whining" and you should "just be normal". On a certain level, these people are actually not wrong. However, social anxiety can sometimes get so complex and intertwined that it requires a bit more to be "cured" from it. At this point you can call it a disorder and saying: "you're just a little shy" is a severe understatement.
But, like I said, it's very curable and very very possible to overcome. So please kick social anxiety's ass and spit on its grave when it inevitably lies in it's deathbed.

Back to h-games: I think you are right, h-games will slowly become more and more mainstream. It's already happening. Steam is a good example of this. I plan on releasing a new h-game some time in the future. I've learned alot from Captivity and plan on using this knowledge to create a better lewd game.

my social anxiety is rather severe, and beleive me i've tried to fix it be its was chronic meaning i was born with it just like my depression and tourettes, i have general anxiety as well which affects many thing, im unable to work do to its, last time i had a job i lost 30lb in 3 weeks from stress. i am unable to travel very far either as i get anxiety attacks from that, these a just a few examples i also get frequent panic attacks. i have had therapy but as i said before (which my therapist agrees with me) i can midigate it to some degree but i will always have it, covid doesn't help either, but in the end i try to have a good sense of humor about it cas being a sarcastic asshole is my best trait lol

Ah I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I can't really relate to general anxiety disorder, as in my case it's very specifically social anxiety disorder. I hope anxiety's effects will lessen over time as you learn to accept yourself for who you are.

I'm sure you are a great sarcastic asshole ;)
